A 60-year-old Maine man, charged with animal cruelty for allegedly leaving his dog in a scorching hot vehicle during an Xfinity Center concert, is out on $1,000 bail and scheduled to return to court on Aug. 8.

Police arrested Edwin F. Harrington Jr., of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, when he returned to his car in the middle of the all-day Vans Warped Tour event on July 10.

His small terrier/bulldog mix named "Tuffy" had already been taken to a veterinarian.

Police rescued the dog at 2:30 p.m. - more than two hours after the start of the event – after a caller reported seeing an animal locked in a vehicle in an open gravel parking lot under the hot sun.

They found Tuffy partially in a crate on the back seat of Harrington’s 2002 Buick.

The windows were cracked open about three inches, allowing the officers to unlock the door.

As they opened the rear door, Tuffy collapsed out of the vehicle, unable to move its rear legs, police say.

Mansfield Animal Control Officer Jeff Collins took the dog to Tufts Veterinary Emergency Treatment and Specialties in Walpole where it was found to be suffering from heat stroke and shock. It was kept overnight for further medical testing.

The following day, police said Tuffy appeared to be on the mend. Witnesses told police Harrington was last seen at his vehicle at around 10:45 a.m. and that they were not aware there was an animal in the vehicle.

Temperatures on Thursday, July 10 reached 85 degrees but studies have shown that temperatures inside a vehicle could have reached of 130 degrees.
